5.0 out of 5 stars Superb monitor, great for gaming, August 30, 2003

This review is from: NEC MultiSync LCD1860NX - LCD display - TFT - 18.1" - 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz - 200 cd/m2 - 350:1 - 30 ms - 0.28 mm - DVI-D - black (Electronics)

This is my first LCD monitor. It is just awesome...no glare, viewable from virtually any angle, bright true colors, just about sets itself up out of the box.
Morrowind looks fantastic with no ghosting at all that I could discern.
The controls are very very hard to see on the black monitor and just about impossible to use, BUT you can download software from NEC online so that all the controls are available from right-clicking on your desktop and going to "properties" for the Windows XP desktop...very easy.
I'm an oldster and was worried about being able to use this monitor at the high resolution, but it just makes the desktop and fonts much easier to see...no problem.
Don't hestitate. Get this monitor. You will love it.
Oh, and not a single bad pixel.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Crisp and Defined Monitor, August 4, 2003

This review is from: NEC MultiSync LCD1860NX - LCD display - TFT - 18.1" - 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz - 200 cd/m2 - 350:1 - 30 ms - 0.28 mm - DVI-D - black (Electronics)

The monitor came before my computer and I couldn't wait to see it in action. When it first came out of the box, I never imagined it was going to be that light. Once it hooked up to my computer (HP Custom Built) it came to life and provided some serious display for my eyes to taste. Impressive, clear, smooth, great color, and it saves so much space... get rid of your old CRT (Cathode Ray Tube -- Old Computer Monitor) and buy this one. It is worth it.

This review is from: NEC MultiSync LCD1860NX - LCD display - TFT - 18.1" - 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz - 200 cd/m2 - 350:1 - 30 ms - 0.28 mm - DVI-D - black (Electronics)

After being pleased with two 15" Samsung LCD monitors, I was ready to upgrade to a bigger LCD monitor. After reading many editorial and user reviews, I decided to give this monitor a try. Let me tell you that I absolutely love it. It's been a terrific upgrade from my previous 15" gems! After using this monitor for nearly a month, here's what I've found.

The extra desktop space I achieved from this LCD was terrific when I use it at its native resolution (1280x1024), and the fonts and images were clear, crisp, and full of rich colors. A nice bonus is that the power supply is integrated into the monitor itself - no more power brick! It was also clear that NEC cares for its monitors in terms of packaging. It was packaged extremely well, and there was not a single indication of any damage from shipping. The monitor looked great right out of the box. All I had to do was auto-adjust the screen. The control buttons are a little difficult to use because they're quite small and narrow. They're also the same color as the bezel, making them difficult to see. However, I've only used them once, so it's been a moot point.

Well, I said how great the monitor is for the desktop. So how is it for DVD and games? First, the DVD playback has been a minor issue. Regardless of which software DVD player I use, there's a occasional jerk that happens for a few seconds, then it goes away, then it comes back. It's at a set interval, and I think it's due to the analog signal. I never had this problem on my previous Samsung LCD monitor. Reinstalling the video driver didn't help, further making me believe it's due to the signal. I'll see if a DVI cable clears that up. As for games, the pixel response time is not that of a CRT, so there's some ghosting. However, I had no problems playing even fast-paced games like Unreal Tournament and Quake 3. My one gripe (and this is the case for just about all LCDs) was the low refresh rate, leading to low frame rates when v-sync is enabled, and disabling that feature totally made those games look horrid.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this monitor. I so was pleased that I bought a second one for my other system, and both monitors arrived in excellent condition. Not a single dead pixel was found. Unless you're a hardcore gamer, you can't go wrong with this monitor.
